That Fateful Fourth, by Roger Robicheau
Repost of Jul 4th 2009
Our will was strong, our want was great
Let freedom reign, what better fate
We journeyed long from Plymouth Rock
The time was clear to end all talk
That fateful fourth our courage showed
That fateful fourth our courage showed
Americans - and how we glowed
We won the right to be self known
We’ll always cherish those we’ve lost,
We won the right to be self known
Our Independence, clearly shown
The test of time has stood us tall
The test of time has stood us tall
Through bravest hearts, some forced to fall
We’ll always cherish those we’ve lost,
Their gift to us, their total cost
Today we face another foe
Today we face another foe
And stand together, all do know
FREEDOM DOESN'T GIVE US THE RIGHT TO DO WHAT WE PLEASE, BUT TO DO WHAT PLEASES GOD!

I love this last quote! And my favorites are the last, and the first! Did you make that, or copy it? I like the stars with the fireworks shooting out. Will you be hearing any fireworks tonight, and what will Jake do?
LOVE this. That quote is awesome and there are so many people who need to learn that. Happy 4th. Enjoy your hot dog :)
